A most interesting addition to our range of Russets, this small chestnur brown heavily russetted Apple develops a characteristic intense taste of pear drops as it ripens. A productive small tree, the fruits are ready for harvesting mid October and have great storing properties, often keeping well until March. The blossom is most attractive too.
Good pollinators include Bountiful, Herefordshire Russet, Redsleeves, Pitmaston Pineapple, Red Devil and Red Ellison.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
